Abstract: The main sources of fresh water are often ground water and surface water. Iron and manganese concentrations can be found in both surface and ground water. Concentration of these metals gives water a metallic taste and stains various items like paper, clothing, and plastics. When the concentration is high, it can occasionally have an impact on consumer health. The water we drink needs to be free of toxins in order to safeguard consumer health. Any water supply should be inspected or tested for physical, chemical, and biological contaminants. As a result, the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) has recommended that water should be treated if iron and manganese concentrations exceed 0.3 mg/L. The Wainganga River is the main source of water for the Balaghat district and its surroundings. Groundwater is a source of water in some towns and villages where treated water has yet to arrive. In this study, iron and manganese two chemical contaminants are examined in groundwater and Wainganga River water of Balaghat region. This study provides data on the presence of iron and manganese in the water collected from the selected area of Balaghat district.
